Disclaimer: Yes! Yes! Yes! I own everything involving Gilmore Girls! It took me long enough. Oh No! Oh No! Amy and Dan just stole it from me.

A/N: Ok countdown begins for the final 6 episodes of Gilmore Girls starting tomorrow. I cannot wait. Well I have my own countdown. Countdown to the end of this section. Only 2 more chapters. On with Chapter 18. But before we go on with this chapter, I want to let you know that it may get confusing. It skips around from different times on different days. Be prepared and on with Chapter 18.

Lorelai searched every where Luke would have gone. She searched the fishing hole, the dock, the school, every where, but there still was no Luke. Finally she gave up and headed home.

Luke was too upset to go home. He was even too upset to think. When he got into his truck he had no idea where he was going, but that he was going. 2 hours later, Luke was there.

He slipped out of the truck and walked the all to familiar path to the block of carved stone.

"Hey mom." Luke started. "I haven't came by in a while. I guess I've been so busy. I have a new girlfriend, actually had. I found her kissing some guy tonight. I thought she might be the girl I would spend the rest of my life with."

Luke paused and studied the stone.

"She's so beautiful. She reminds me of you. She can make you laugh when your down, and she never gets tired of me. She's also a junk food junkie. And she can't live with out coffee. Just like you."

Luke took a deep breath.

"I wished you could have met her. You would have liked her." He looked down at the ground. "I miss you mom."

Luke brushed the stone off and turned towards his truck.

Lorelai was more worried about Luke than anyone would have thought. She thought the worst of things. What if he was in an accident? Lorelai couldn't sit still for 5 minutes. She kept pacing and waiting by the phone to see if Luke would call. No chance. At midnight Lorelai fell asleep.

Luke drove around for hours after leaving the grave. He didn't feel like going home, but he didn't feel like driving around aimlessly. Finally at midnight he headed towards Stars Hollow.

5:55 A.M. Monday morning

Lorelai picked up the phone and dialed Luke's house.

"Luke?" William answered.

"No Mr. Danes, this is Lorelai. Have you heard from Luke?"

"No sweetie. He still hasn't returned home."

"I haven't heard from him either."

"I pray to God he's alright."

12:45 A.M. Early Monday morning

Luke drove into to town. He went past his house on towards the inn. He stopped at the potting shed and got out and slowly crept up to the window. Inside he saw Lorelai asleep. Luke opened the door, which was unlocked, and made his way inside to where Lorelai was. He bent down and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Lorelai." Luke whispered. "And I always will."

Then he left, not knowing if he would ever see her again.

A/N:

Really short, I know. I wanted to finish it and get it up so I could start on the next chapter. I know it's confusing. When I started this story I had it all planned out down to what the chapter would be called, but I changed it all. Right now I really have no idea where I'm going. I want at least 111 reviews before the end of this section, and that's only two chapters away. Get reviewing. Thank you.
